Hello darkness, my old friend, Ive come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence.

Long time no see DRK forum.

I posted my redhead long ago and even got to witness Sara's big reveal. Sadly then my computer fried and prior obligations prevented me from getting another until now. That and the drinking and redheaded ex.

update: after indulging in snarling rageoholism for most of today, i finally said **** YOU and canceled my order. my mistake, humorously enough (aside from contemplating playing this **** at all) was that i bought the game directly from SE. i re-ordered from amazon and got my early access download codes in under 1 minute.

So ... how bout dat batfleck? I for one applaud the move. This is going to be a hella interesting movie, even if he sucks it'll be great to watch.

I guess he is going to have acting, writing, and directing roles for the movie. I was not expecting anything good when I heard he would play Batman, but I do think he's a good writer/director, so I might actually watch this one. I got that backwards, he's writing/directing Man of Steel 2. I have no confidence in Batfleck.

FFXIV: I should have known better to expect to have a straight 48 hour access to FFXIV this weekend. Their servers keep having troubles, but it's nothing different from any other MMO launch.

wife's been trying to log on for the last 6 hours and is most displeased. the new servers are supposed to be running on wenesday. game is really good, it makes me sick to say this but you should all try it after they get their **** straight.

I thought by now people would have learnt not to trust an MMO's servers to work just fine on launch. Seriously, has that ever happened? Launch's are giant suckfests. Not to mention everyone at the exact same level trying to do the exact same content. Wait a week, chill your beans, get far better opening experience.

what, people ****** because they paid for a service they're not getting? /shocking i know. of course you expect general nuttiness the first couple of days of a launch. only, this isn't a launch, and it's been the same problem for over a week now. it's a 2nd chance for their 150 million dollar steaming pile of ****, or however much the total is now after the year of re-working. you'd have figured they'd have erred on the side of caution since yoshi's said repeatedly money was no object to making this work.

all lolSE aside, once they get through this they're going to have a monster on their hands. the game is stupid good. i hate this company and had sworn not to give them another nickle.

i'm still playing it if that tells you anything.

Actually they just paid for the game, they haven't paid for any service and won't be for an extra seven days now.

Definitely taking a free transfer if I can get one though. It's 7am PST and it's like the login sh*tstorm never stopped. If they'd just keep the queue working and locked out people who spammed through it... Letting the queue break down leads to making people spam to get in and results in ten times as many requests, which just breaks the system even worse. Fix the f*cking queues and the traffic will be cut by a magnitude that the lobby server won't **** itself every hour.

Ultros is the zam server of choice. There is a zam LS that I didn't bother joining, but they must have a pretty decent number of members, I see them all the time. I'm in a small shell with a few people from =22. I just logged on a few minutes ago and got right in without even getting queued. It might be too early to tell, but for the moment at least it seems that the maintenance took care of the log in problems.

The one real problem with XIV as far as leveling goes is that once you've exhausted the quests in an area on one job, that's it. You can't level another job through that area and have the quests available to you, so you're stuck more doing FATES and leves, and that slows down your leveling a good bit. It'd be nice if the quests could be repeated once per job, but after the first time you've done it, you can only get the exp reward from it (so no meds, gear, etc). That way you wouldn't need to choose whether or not to skip an entire region when leveling since you don't want to use their quests for your one job.

Eh, I'm ok with how quests work right now. I like how the game makes it great for casual players to step into end game (even if the culture is toxic), but still puts forth a bit of a grind for those that want to be more dedicated.

I'd like to see dungeons give a little more xp to be competitive with FATEs and guildhest fights need to offer the bonus xp for each class you take into it.

Duty EXP is pretty great or GC Leves/Fates if you need seals. It's not as fast as blitzing through ques tlines but I think they built the game to give you a straight shot to 50 on one job via the storyline and anything else you want is on your time.

The game is far from a grind. I find myself bouncing from a variety of events based on what's available at the time. In less than 3 weeks playing at a very casual rate I've got WAR at 41/50. I think in that time frame for FFXI I managed to figure out that I didn't have to run to my mog house every time I wanted to heal HP and I MIGHT have seen the Dunes.

The only thing I long for in this game is the creativity. Players used to come up with such bananas gear sets and job combinations to just do one thing well. In 14, any half cocked gear set will let you do most things adequately.
